The information was initially released by the group “Mariupol.Resistance” and confirmed by an advisor to the mayor of Mariupol, although an official confirmation from the authorities is still awaited.
In videos circulating on social media, two Su-25 fighters are seen in action when one of them appears to be hit by the fire from the other. If confirmed, this situation would be classified as a friendly fire incident, a rare occurrence but not uncommon in armed conflicts.
The Su-25 that crashed this morning on the Donetsk front was reportedly shot down by another Russian aircraft, resulting in a fall in territory controlled by Ukrainian forces.
The video from the accident site shows the wreckage of the aircraft, generating discussions about the safety and coordination among Russian air forces.
Russian authorities have yet to issue any statement. The exact circumstances of the incident are still under investigation, and more information is expected to be released in the coming hours.
